Responsibility
Common factors that affect water chiller performance are inadequate water flow, inadequate heat recovery, inappropriate compressors and imbalances among compressor, condenser, evaporator and thermal expansion valves.
Health & Welfare
The basic premise of refrigeration is to move heat from a colder heat source to a warmer heat sink. Common pitfalls for refrigeration in aquaculture are a lack of water flow, inadequate evaporator capacity and evaporator freezing.
Innovation & Investment
Increasing the heat recovery efficiency of a system can save both capital and operational costs. Contain water and keep exchangers clean.
Responsibility
As stocking density increases in aquaculture systems, supplemental oxygen becomes necessary. Oxygen generation is becoming a popular option.
Innovation & Investment
Cavitation occurs in a centrifugal pump when the effects of low internal water pressure lead to impeller damage. Proper design and installation of pumping systems can help.
